the vote
Total,

The result of the ballot was greeted with
applause. 1t is an act of which the citizens
OF Augusta may well feel proud. II means
new cotton factory and fine tenement mill
for our small manufactures, where they may
find convenient accommodations and ample
power. 1t means an industrial growth and
business prosperity for our city which any
other than the comprehensive policy an

AUGUSTUS WATER POWER.
Extracts from Abbott's History OF Maine
1875.

"Augusts has become one of the largest,
wea,thest. most intellectual and most beauti-
full cities in the State. 1t is the shire-town
of the County, and the Capital of Maine.
The river Is spanned by fioe bridge, and
elegant mansions SIRE found on both sides of
the river The State Hous,. of granite,
stands in commanding position, on a plat
eau on the western banks. A water power
of great value is established here, by the con-
struction of dam entirely across the river.
The length of the Augusta dam is 5S4 feet,
ard its height fifteen feet The water powe
thus afforded is of immense value, and must
eventually give employment to very large
manufacturing population.
Improvements on this power are now (l875,
then in possession OF Sprsgues } in prospect
on an immense scale. Six hundred acres of
land have been purchased around it. The
power can be enormously increased by con-
meeting with t nearly three hundred square
miles of lakes which are tributary to the Ken
nebec. 1t can hardly be doubted that Augusta
is destined eventually to De one of the largest
manufacturing cities in the United States"

CHARLOTTE Russo

The papers continue to speak in most favor
able terms of Charlotte Russo" the new
comedy of high life. 1t is as provocative of
laughter as either The Skating Rink" 1.-THE
Kindergarten, or "O.d Shipmates,' but is
much higher class of comedy; that is to say,
it deals with better class of people. In fact,
its scenes are laid among the wealthy and
well bred The characters are ladies and
gentlemen of Society, who are brought into
difficulties and situations, which besides being
novel in a popularity dramatic sense. are also
exceedingly mirthful Speaking of the
charming star of this company the New York
sunday Times says;
Miss Augusta Van Doren, who is preparing
u star in new comedy called "Charlotte
Russo" comes from good old kuckevbocker
stock, aud is young actress of ability, who
has done good work 10 the support of ling
stars. The new play is described as story

Fair OF Capital Grange.

As our city readers are well aware, a branch
Of that powerful farmers organization known
az the Patrons of Husbandry has existed IN
this city for several years past. This order
which is known as Capital Grange, holds
weekly meetings for the discussion of agri-
highly creditable entertainments in the past
which have however been confined to its own
members. Among the leading members of
the grange in this city are such men as Dr.
Lspham, J. S. Hobbs, Chas. f Nash, + f.
Pinkham, w G Flfeld, Dr. Webster, T. J.
Ly~ch, DIR. G. f. Brickett. DR.. w. l..
Thompson, Il b Capen and others; while
such prominent farmers as W. F. Atherton,
Hsllowell; J. II and Geo. A. Yeaton, Chel-
sea; and d. B Savage, Columbus Cottle, c.
II Blaisdeli, c. F Fletcher, H. B Cory,
Frank Beck, f II. Howard and many others
of this t'wn, are amorg its best workers.
The grange has m. mbership of about 1875.
and d. b. Savage, Esq is the present Master.
Early in the summer it was decided by the
members of Capitsl Grange to hold fair the
present ftil, and Sept. ~ and 2S-Tuesday
and Wednt sdaV of next week.-mrs. fixed as
the date. 1t has been a dozen or fourteen
wears SINCE All agricultural 1alr was nSid IN
this city, and we hope the coming one will be
libersIly patronzed BY our citizens. 1t is
not a sale fair, as some have supposed, but a
genuine farmers cattle show fair, with the
cattle left out The members have been
working hard, and we are assured they will
have n large and creditsble display of fruit,
flowers, vegetables, poultry, field and garden
crops, bread, canned aud preserved fruits,
quilts, domestic and fancy work. ornamental
needle work, paintings, etc A hive of bees
will be shown in an observation hive, and
there will be a display of honey. Some of
the finest breeds of domestic poultry will be
exhibited, and there will be an interesting
collection of niece ianeous articles
In addition t, this display of articles the
young people of the grange are arranging for
variety entertainment for both evenings of
of the fair The programme will consist of
music, dramss. tableaux, songs,-new pieces
to be presented each evening. Season tickets
are placed at so cents, and are now on sale at
W. G. Fifeld's.
Capital Grange il one of the best social and
educational organic ,tions in our city, and we
believe our citizens should extend a generous
support to the fair which its members are to
hold. Our farmers pay good deal Of money
yearly into the hands If the merchants and
business firms of the city nov let the city
people show their appreciation of this by
substantial all and large attendance upon

department and large crowd of interested
citizens turned out, but after a long and
faithful. search failed to discover any fire ex-
cept that which they carried along with them
in their pipes. 1t doubtless originated in
some wild dream of tramps and incendiaries.

A good sieZed crowd was at the depot YES
terday to meet the ten O'Clock train, ali eager
to get sight of the fire bugs who were in
charge of officers Stevenson and Hill There
were two men. Slim and Irish TIE girl
Lille BROKER also accompanied the party
The prisoners were soon locked I'D in the
Jail where they will probably rem ain for some
time. 10 conversation with the Journal re-
porter, Officer Stevenson said that he went TO
Bangor from Carmel ON the far O'Clock
who were reported to be in custody there.
Upon his arrival he found that only one of
the men was confined there The other had
escaped. Il is not unlikely that he returned
this way upon the Pullman, as three tramps
were discovered here secreted upon that train.
Two of them were confined in the police
station until about ten o'clock yesterday fore
noon when, inquiry failing to fnd anything
against them. they were released. 1t is not
improbable that the third member of this
party may have been the missing Swift. MT.
Stevenson Immediately recognized the man
confined At Bangor, from description as the
party called Slim, and at once started with
him for Augusta, telegraphng Captain
Fletcher to meet him at the train with Irish
and the girl. Deputy Sheriff Hill joined the
party at Waterville. The girl was in a

He pretended to marry her, and prevailed

intelligent looking fellow. He is said to
have been a native of Pittston, in this State
and to have been well educated. He is a
good reader and when in Jail
last winter, used frequently
to entertain his comrades in this way. His
companion Irish is thoroughly brutal and
evil looking specimen. His eyes are small
and round, and he has decidedly hsng-dog
look He appears t. be a william of the sneak
ing order, and thoroughly lacking in the per-
sonsl courage of his companion. He has
stupid stolid countenance, and one would
readily pick him out in crowd as person
who would bear watching
At last accounts the wounded man was
believed to be improving.
